Hi there! Thanks for visiting BackPackBOB.com!

I love hearing from my readers so if you want to get in touch with me, about anything at all, email me directly at realbackpackbob@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Feel free to send your suggestions, feedback, inquires or if you just have a question to ask, then I’d love to hear from you!

For any partnerships, collaborations or business enquiries please check out the work with me and the press page.

You’re much more likely to get a response by sending me an email, but if you’d prefer, you can also get in touch with me through my socials, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even Reddit. Don’t forget to follow, before dropping a message!

Thanks to everyone that’s been getting in touch, the support is truly appreciated. However, my inbox is now overflowing. I will get a response to everyone that has got in contact, but it could take up to a week.

Indonesian Visa’s

My inbox has been flooded with questions asking for additional information about Indonesia visa’s and visiting Bali. I am working through my messages and trying to get back to everyone as soon as possible. Here are the answers to some F.A.Q’s.

1) I have been in contact with the embassy in my country, and have been told they are not issuing B211 visas?

It can be a diffult task to obtain information from an embassy at the best of times. However in this case they are correct. There have been some recent changes to the application process for B211 visa’s. Passport visa’s are no longer being issued. Instead, e-visa’s are now being issued by the Directorate General, Jakarta. Which makes the application process quicker and easier.

There is no general website to make an e-visa application at the moment, the application is submitted on your behalf from your sponsor.

2) Can you sponsor my Indonesian visa?

Yes, between me and my partner, we can sponsor a limited number of B211 visas. Over the past few months, we have been helping others to obtain their visa, and travel to Indonesia and Bali.

If you want us to sponsor your visa, the cost is $600 USD and visa approval is guaranteed.

The cost covers all the paperwork mentioned in my post and the visa itself, which will be send via email.

3) Do I need a minimum amount of funds to apply for this visa?

Yes, you’ll need to have at least $1,500 USD (or equivalent) shown on your bank statement. Not $10,000 as some sources are reporting.

4) $600 is quite expensive, is there another way to get sponsorship?

I agree, the price is steep, especially when you consider that before COVID, the cost to enter Indonesia was nothing.

So is there a cheaper way to enter Indonesia? Without a visa you cannot enter Indonesia. Borders are closed for visa-free travel. If you don’t already have a visa, then you’ll need a sponsor, and sponsoring a visa costs money.

But is there a cheaper way to get sponsorship? If you have friends or family, who are Indonesian citizens, who own a business registered in Indonesia, which is capable of offering sponsorship then you could ask for them to assist you with sponsorship.

They should expect to spend around $400 – $450 to obtain all the paperwork needed plus $50 for the visa application.

About Me

Hi there, I’m Robb, Aka "BackPack BOB". Traveller, Blogger, Entrepreneur, Alcoholic. I have spent my life travelling around the world, and COVID-19 hasn't stopped me. Since leaving the United Kingdom at 18, I've worked in three continents met some incredible people and been to some of the most beautiful places on earth. I've collected countless untold stories and mishaps along the way. In my travel blog, I'll share the reality about travelling, the up's and the down's, with no bulls**t, and no drama, I tell it how it is. In a time when travel has become such a controversial topic, and most people will tell you off that you are best to stay at home, because, you know, pandemic... I want to inspire and prove that travel is still possible, and safe. I want to share why and how travel is so incredible and unique in a world after the coronavirus. The time to get back out there is now.
